The Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions Audio Archive Program 463: Rural Development: Rich Land for Poor Slater King, a black activist and real estate broker, presents his idea to create a land trust, privately organized as a non-profit entity, as a means of encouraging poor blacks and whites to leave overpopulated urban areas to become farmers, and to help even the odds of those who are struggling to hold onto their land. Gar Alperovitz, Robert Choate, Don Devereux, Eleanor Eaton, and Robert Swann join Center fellows in the discussion. Sept. 1968.

During that time it brought together many of the most capable and distinguished minds of the times to discuss vital issues facing American society of the day. Thanks to donors Neal Linson, Ceil Pulitzer, and Stanley Sheinbaum, a project has begun to digitize and make accessible on the web some of the most important conference proceedings, talks, and dialogues recorded by CSDI.
